The Roles of Cloud-Based Systems on the Cancer-Related Studies: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The advances in Wireless-based technologies and intelligent diagnostics and forecasting such as cloud computing have significantly affected our lifestyle, observed in many fields, especially healthcare. Also, since the number of new cases of cancer has become very high, there is a need to investigate this matter deeply. Still, there is no systematic review on the application or implementation of the cloud in cancer-care services. Hence, this paper has introduced a comprehensive review of a cloud-centered healthcare system that emphasizes treatment ways in different types of cancer until Sep 2021. The results have shown that the largest study was about the relationship between cancer and the cloud associated with breast cancer. Also, the results have shown that cloud computing facilitates data protection, privacy, and medical record access. Using cloud computing in hospitals, physicians will use advanced programs and tools, and nurses will quickly access patients’ information with new Wireless-based technologies. A strong understanding of the practical aspects of cloud computing will help researchers effectively navigate the vast data ecosystems in cancer research. So, by highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of analyzed articles, this study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date report on the field of cloud-based cancer studies to fill the previous gaps.
